Any time an organization justifies the 2nd amendment in terms of hunting rights, you know they're anti. AHSA is definitely not a pro-gun organization. A few hints from their website:
"According to legal memoranda filed in court by the United States Justice Department, the Second Amendment allows for the passage of reasonable laws designed to keep guns out of the wrong hands."
"AHSA believes the FBI should be given reasonable access to National Instant Check System (NICS) purchase records to insure terrorists and other prohibited individuals do not have access to firearms."
Translation: the FBI to keep gun records indefinitely.
"AHSA supports requiring all transfers of firearms at gun shows to be subject to all federal, state and local laws and regulations currently applicable to federally licensed firearm dealers including the conducting of the instant background check on purchasers."
Translation: let's close that darn gun show loophole again
"AHSA supports legislative efforts to regulate .50 caliber BMG sniper rifles in the same manner as machine guns are regulated under the provisions of the National Firearms Act of 1934."
Translation: let's ban those dangerous 50 caliber sniper rifles.
In other words, AHSA is the new strategy of gun control, or gun safety as they now call it.
